Yeah, we know about that one. It has been pointed out to the admins,
so it is on the list of things to do, but they have some major changes
in the pipeline, so there's no telling when it might be fixed by.

As a work around, if you end the comment line with an apostrophe, it
seems t work.

asp Code:

Original - asp Code
'the comment line does not stop at the end of the line' Dim something something = "I'm not commented anymore!?" 'can this be easly fixed or is it a hassel'

 
'the comment line does not stop at the end of the line'
Dim something
 
something = "I'm not commented anymore!?"
 
'can this be easly fixed or is it a hassel'

the problem is that single quote is not identified as remark character,
but rather as the string delimeter - like in javascript.
another workaround is using highlight=VB instead, which identify the
single quote correctly. the downside is, that it does not highlight
stuff like Server, Request and Response.

<off>I think the whole concept of ASP highlight is wrong. instead,
there should be two separate tags: highlight=vbscript and
highlight=JScript as ASP can be written in both.</off>
